She is a disgrace. She was complaining about the conditions in Alice Springs a few months ago. Is that all better? What about the stolen generations ??? That’s hardly ancient history.

She is giving free license to racists to spew the same nonsense.

Her colleague Kerrynne Liddle was on 7:30 the other night attempting to defend the speech. But when it was pointed out that her mother is a member of the Stolen Generations, and that Liddle herself has said their family continues to suffer from the trauma her mother suffered, she got all defensive and started blabbering about how her hypocrisy and lying is "just a minutiae". These people are completely fake and completely full of shit.

In feminist land we would call them pick me's. They've sold their souls to the conservatives in exchange for political capital.

Pretty good smackdown of that speech. The bit I always hate about these Trump-era morons is they make these absolutely idiotic claims and then cry and play the victim when anyone dares to call them out. Her crocodile tears during the speech were an insult to the intelligence pf anyone who watched.

Her points sounded like the kind of shit you'd hear Sebastian Gorka espouse. Is she hanging out with these types or something?

Like, you can have technological exchange without colonialism. There's running water in countries that weren't colonised as well, it's not a prerequisite. They could've had running water and owned all of the resources in Australia if the British hadn't decided that just planting a flag somewhere meant you owned a place.

Price has been in the CPAC orbit for a while now.
